Hot summer days can be stressful for trees. Are they getting enough water or too much water? Make sure your trees are well hydrated during the summer. Just like flowers, you should be aware that some tree species may require more water than others. Check the soil condition. If it's too dry, trees may need watering. If heavy rains pass through the area and the soil looks saturated, don't water until necessary. 

Mulching around your trees helps the ground to hold moisture and it's a good way to fertilize young trees through a slow-release of nutrition. Mulch helps to moderate soil temperature which helps strengthen tree roots and promote growth..

If your trees have received storm damage from flooding, lightning or high winds, be sure to trim broken limbs, etc. 

Summer is the time of year that trees look their best showing shiny green leaves. Over pruning can be stressful for a tree. Hold off until late fall or early winter to prune trees. That's when they are dormant and less likely to get stressed .
